Ah yes exactly, also Ado Hotel. I didn't know these two online games were played by Americans too... I thought only francophones (French speaking people) like me play it
A space where people can create and play games however they want. But with real money to buy outfits or items to help you in these games. That's how I understand it. A bit like minecraft, where you can make and join different worlds and servers, but pay to win. 😅 (correct me if I'm wrong anyone!)
So I am 25 just. But I recently met a 14 yr old guy while playing a game. He was talking all day about this... Well... I didn't have any clue, so I looked it up. Now I know., It amazes me how out of touch I am with what games are nowadays for those kids. When I was 14 I would never have played something like this... I used to tell and still sometime explain to my mum and her age group folks that they have no idea about the world today. Well... Seems as though the same goes for me in relation to the next generation behind us. It's crazy, but the world is changing at a dramatically increasing speed with every year. Its almost concerning :/
The coming of the Lord Jesus is soon 🙏 He said He will shorten the days for the sake of is chosen. In the last days we will see a evil that has never been and will never be again. Repent turn from sin and remember the only way to the Father is my his son JESUS Christ Those who call upon the name of the Lord (Jesus) shall be save.Jesus loves you. I ❤ you also
@@martafiord You guys obviously aren't gamers. Gamers of all ages interact with each other in games. I play one game where our guild has a 14yo, 16yo, and 17yo. We all play together daily for several hours a day. It's not creepy. Those of us who are adults (I'm 35) look out for our younger gamer friends. That's just how the world is today. When you play a video game, you often don't know the age of the person you're playing with because people don't typically share that information with strangers. So all of these multiplayer games have people of all ages interacting with each other: Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite, Call of Duty, Sea of Thieves, World of Warcraft, etc. I was once a 16yo playing games with people my current age. Some of those people are still friends with me to this day, and it's not creepy. It's only creepy if the adult is a creepy predator. Just because we are adults does not automatically make us a creepy predator for being kind and inclusive.
Dude.... I was just chillin, sitting on the toilet with my morning coffee, and I searched for "top selling games of all time" on my phone for some reason, and up comes roblox. I'm 30, I game hard, and NEVER heard of it. MUCH thanks for explaining wtf this is. 🙏
Let me save you all some time, and I’m only about 90 seconds in and didn’t know what it was either. It’s basically a slightly more stable Gmod with monetization, a kid-friendly aesthetic, and “item trading.” Including stuff that costs real money. And it targets kids. To spend money.
It's not really a gmod though. Gmod - you buy the game and that's it, you have access to variety of servers with different ideas/content/games. Roblox - Free to Download as a client to enjoy basics but Pay-to-Play for premium content. (Basically a Second Life [If anyone still remembers that])
Roblox is an online platform that allows users to create, share, and play games created by others. It has a wide variety of user-generated games across different genres. Players can also customize their avatars and interact with friends. Roblox is especially popular among younger audiences, and it gives creators a lot of freedom to design and code their own virtual worlds using the platform's tools.
omg thanks for making this video. I needed a crash course. The data was great, and it's very informative. I had no idea it had been out since 2006! Wild that now 3/4 kids are playing it.
I play it because there's countless of games no matter what genre you can play in one platform. There's a lot of people playing it and I like interacting with people.
Thanks for this video. As someone working in IT industry and gaming daily (I am pretty on par with tech trends) - I had to setup surface pro for my friends kid today and she asked that roblox to be installed. I realized I am out of the loop (and not so on par with tech trends) when I launched roblox and was stuck at main menu and had to ask a kid: "So how do you start the game?" This video explains a lot, thanks.
"How do you start the game?" If you're smart, you don't. I wouldn't help kids play these corrupt games that monetize everything. Terrible. They turn 'Monopoly' money into real money.

I'm 32 and always heard of Minecraft and Roblox but never really looked into them. I just assumed they were similar games 😅 I feel like I'd get bored of them, but maybe if I was a kid/teen I'd play them.

Thank you for this overview! I am a nineteen-year-old whose father is asking her to play Roblox for his upcoming interview with the company but... he's asking a MINECRAFT player to play a game that she doesn't want to play on incredibly short notice. I hate to compare the two, since it is clear that they are pretty different despite both being sandbox games with online functionality and ways for people to connect, but based on what I've seen I still prefer Minecraft. It's the fact that you have to pay real money (more often than not) to get Avatar Customization options that turns me away from Roblox. If I'm going to spend hard-earned cash on something, it's gonna be something that I care about like food or a present for my cousin, not an in-game currency. (Minecraft Bedrock does the same thing, I know, but at least there is an option to use a version of the game that doesn't have that functionality. i.e. Minecraft Java)
For Avatar customization, there is called ugc item, you can earn them in every game that include it and it's free but you need some receive condition and also Minecraft is overrated they have new eula and pay2win aspect (even though roblox did the same, not all of them are pay2win)
I am 22 almost 23 and I have been playing Roblox since 2011, so I was like 10 years old at the time. I remember it like it was yesterday. I am glad how big Roblox has become and I hope it grows more and more.
When you remove chat btw it just doesn’t let YOUR kid talk but other ppl can. There’s 2 chats, in game and out of game. One for you and your friends and another for everyone
I’m hoping someone can help me. I work with a Kindergartener who talks about this game. He is having a hard time learning and is following behind. I decided to come here and see what this game is. Then somehow I can use a character from the game to motivate him to learn educationally. What are the popular characters? Any help would be appreciated!
i think roblox saved many kids that have autism or sth people having issue finding friends in irl they could have a chance to find friends in a game escaping irl for a while at least so they wont be too depressed or something roblox is good, but..... i am not really sure too be honest for right now since many gamble game.. coming out edit: I didn't watch the whole video but I wanna share my opinion for roblox as a player
I remember this was advertised over 10 years ago on websites. The commerical on one site made me very suspicious on the quailty but I'm glad its enjoy by alot of people.
ngl this is something I bet I would love to play as a kid as well, good that so much kids nowadays play something that has such big creative possibilities.
Sooo. It’s effectively a sandbox where everyone can create a world to play different games or simply meet up and simulate a second life. It’s kinda what I wanted VR chat to be, just not VR lol
A virtual world where kids interact with each other. You can buy skins and add ons to customize your avatar using its currency called robucks. They have games in this virtual world that you can play. You also trade items and chat with others. You can create your own world for others to play in or you can just play in the world's that others create.
I love the overall foundation of these types of games, and I think it has a good chance of making the younger generation.... focus on their creativity. I just don't like the overt greedy capitalism with all those microtransactions. Its good to teach kids, especially, that valuable things cost $ and there's a hierarchy to things... but i just feel bad that some kids are limited due to their financial situation. In real life AND now virtually too lmao
I would prefer that kids play Minecraft than Roblox tbh. Minecraft is once-off payment for the game and they can enjoy it and it develops creativity. But at the end of the day - it's all Business, if these games weren't making money - they wouldn't exist I guess.
There’s a holy GOD in Heaven, Who created you and I for His glory, but our sins have separated us from Him. the wages of sin is DEATH, but the FREE Gift of GOD is eternal life in JESUS CHRIST the LORD. CHRIST died for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. repent, stop living in sin, and believe in the Gospel!!! -
Also, there aren’t any limits for age (in games). So if you’re under 13 and play a “18+“ game it won’t kick you out it’ll just allow you. But it’s hard to find 18+ games since they’re kinda hidden. You need to SEARCH for them. But not in the sense of search bars. I mean like you need to go to someone who has those games and join it from their profile.
Thank u for the info. I have nephews that are addicted to these games and they are only 6 and 10 so I worry about the fact all they want to do is play these games. I know their parents are not monitoring anything! They just give them Robux cards to be GOOD. So I am concerned.
3 out of 4 kids are playing these corrupted games? Ugh, how jacked up are the new generations going to be, sad times. I used to play lots of custom Warcraft 3 maps and the idea of having to bring money into that equation to play all that great custom content is awful. Would have totally corrupted the experience and taken away the joy of people just being able to create and play whatever levels they wanted without having to bring in real world economics into the situation past the single initial purchase price everyone paid.
My first thought of Roblox was it was weird. My 10 year old niece got me into the game.(Yes all her actions are monitored. She also knows not to talk to strangers.) I really love Tycoons now.
Roblox should be all ages to play. Adults can play because they can be kids like you. Kids grow up as an adult and can keep playing roblox. No matter what people say. Just enjoy what u do. I love roblox so much. I play when i was 20 something i dunno when. Im 26 and tomorrow is my birthday. I will always have Roblox in my heart now.
I was trying to fix my nephew’s iPad and had to reset it. My nephew got upset over deleting data from an app called “Roblox”. I asked what it was and him and his brother got excited. They told me it was a game that had many games + apps? Such is RUclips kind of. I was completely off the grid. Now I’m a bit scared imagining the link between Roblox, meta, and COVID.
I might be hired next week as a Roblox developper. I'm a programmer/developper, and it seems like Roblox is only continuing to grow. Its an industry . Thanks for letting me know what I'm getting into 😅
Roblox is an online platform that allows users to create and play a wide variety of user-created games. With its easy-to-use tools and expansive library of materials, users can build almost anything they can imagine. From simple 2D platformers to 3D blockbusters, Roblox is home to thousands of user-created games. With customization options, users can customize their character's appearance and pick from a variety of gear and accessories to give their avatar a unique look. Roblox also features a variety of social experiences, such as parties, chat rooms, and mini-games, allowing players to connect with friends and family all over the world. Roblox is a safe and secure platform, with parental controls and moderation features that keep kids safe from inappropriate content. With its constantly expanding library of games and its user-friendly tools, Roblox is the perfect platform for kids to explore their creativity, make friends, and have fun.
This will be a no from me for my kids. I don’t mind them being creative in Minecraft where my kids can with play together, but they will not be subject to any strangers. I will not allow any foreign interaction.
It is a sandbox game. Its appeal is it can have and experience thousands of games in within a platform and launcher. And plus the fact that is quite light weight and less resource consuming for that much of experiences and an online game which we can increase the chances of replay
Here's an example of a roblox game in which most (good) players are not kids: Deepwoken (RPG game) It costs 400 robux (5$) and the new voice chat setting would make you feel nostalgic of old COD lobbies when killing other players There are almost no gamepasses and it is a permadeath game, meaning if you die 3 times, all the progress you have made in the last hours/days is gone.
I'm a contractor. I was on Camp Lejeune this week and 2 marines were talking about playing Roblox. One was excited about his phone notification that made the OOF sound. I came here to see what Roblox is.
Were these Marines "old style" military Men that looked like they could have stormed Normandy or the new 🌈 rainbow boys & girls that can't do push ups and have 2 moms?
I have 2 boys that want to play this Thank you for making this really helps my decision if I should let them play I worry about pervs but I will keep watch as they play
Just find a game perfectly fit for u ive never liked much rb games the only thing i found very interesting is a trading game aka bgs meant to teach kids the values percentage and demands and also demon slayer tycoon its very fun if used properly
I do not use roblox but in the games I frequent we get players who clearly use roblox they and the vast majority are the a pain in the rear at best many are so badly behaved it beggars belief why are roblox players such a nuance in other games?
idk man, i play roblox but get bullied, if not bullied, Insulted and get called mean things. idk why they hate me for playing it, always calls me a kid though i dont play kid-targetting kids. i play mature ones. maybe toxic kids gave bad impressions to them so when they see roblox players they'll insult them. for no reason. at all.
when a random moron on youtube says that a flash game from 2003 that has since been shut down with a completely closed down system is better than a thriving game with over 50 million active daily players and the ability to make whatever you want, from cod clones to flight simulators, prophunt, bhop, etc seethe
Seems really fun and cute for kids and maybe some adults can enjoy it too. I worry about all of the scammers taking advantage of people but I suppose they will flock to whatever is popular if Its Roblox or anything else.
Im an older player. I feel kinda like I'm immature at times because i know the lore lol but it came out when I was 11 so i had time to adapt over the years. But anyway for my fellow 20+ year olds who are confused, its basically a catalog of games and you use the same avatar in each game. You may customize them though between free clothes and robux clothes if you choose to. I had gotten back into it over the years between DragonBall games and Liminal Space/Backroom games. I do enjoy the social aspect of it as it brings a realistic feel to the adventures rather than your comrades be NPCS. Dont get me wrong i play consoles and PC games as well but Roblox is surprisingly solid. Just gotta keep out the older people who are creepy and also the condo games need to go. When ive been in a server and got vibes someone was bejng suspect i would make it my business as an older person to put them in check. Virtually smacking around a possible adult being a creep to kids and teens is a great feeling I'll say that much from experience. It has its pros and cons like any online experience.
Thank you I’m 40 from the uk and wanted a game I can get into and become addicted to to pass time lol I won’t be talking in there if it’s all kids unless it’s a hello or goodbye etc
@@go4thmultiply349 Are you okay? There's always people you can talk to, you know. If you don't have anyone around, there are free services like hotlines and support groups that can help. Lashing out won't help you with your issues, though. It only makes it harder to find people who will listen. Best of luck.
Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system developed by Roblox Corporation. It allows users to program games and play games created by other users. Created by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004 and released in 2006, the platform hosts user-created games of multiple genres coded in the programming language Lua. For most of Roblox's history, it was relatively small, both as a platform and a company. Roblox began to grow rapidly in the second half of the 2010s, and this growth has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Roblox is free-to-play, with in-game purchases available through a virtual currency called "Robux". As of August 2020, Roblox had over 164 million monthly active users, with it being played by over half of all children aged under 16 in the United States. Although Roblox has generally received positive reviews from critics, it has faced criticism for its moderation, micro... This channel was generated automatically by RUclips's video discovery system.
For people who don't know what roblox is: What is Roblox? Roblox is an online virtual playground and workshop, where kids of all ages can safely interact, create, have fun, and learn. It’s unique in that practically everything on Roblox is designed and constructed by members of the community. Each player starts by choosing an avatar and giving it an identity. They can then explore Roblox - interacting with others by chatting, playing games, or collaborating on creative projects. Each player is also given their own piece of undeveloped real estate along with a virtual toolbox with which to design and build anything - be it a navigable skyscraper, a working helicopter, a giant pinball machine, a multiplayer “Capture the Flag” game or some other, yet-to-be-dreamed-up creation. There is no cost for this first plot of virtual land. By participating and by building cool stuff, Roblox members can earn specialty badges as well as Roblox dollars (“Robux”). In turn, they can shop the online catalog to purchase avatar clothing and accessories as well as premium building materials, interactive components, and working mechanisms.
I really wasn’t expecting to be completely out of the loop by 27 lol - thanks for explaining what the kids are into these days

So glad you are making more videos! Or at least glad I’m seeing them on my Sub feed because I haven’t had your videos on my page for years.
I took some time off but I’m back! Thanks for watching!
When you remove chat btw it just doesn’t let YOUR kid talk but other ppl can. There’s 2 chats, in game and out of game. One for you and your friends and another for everyone
I’m hoping someone can help me. I work with a Kindergartener who talks about this game. He is having a hard time learning and is following behind. I decided to come here and see what this game is. Then somehow I can use a character from the game to motivate him to learn educationally. What are the popular characters? Any help would be appreciated!
Not really alot of characters, but there are youtubers that alot of roblox players watch. Flamingo, sketch, denis, dantdm.
@@Lunaticdoesdumstuff Thanks! I’ll go look for their channel and watch. You have been so helpful❤️
i think roblox saved many kids that have autism or sth
people having issue finding friends in irl
they could have a chance to find friends in a game
escaping irl for a while at least
so they wont be too depressed or something
roblox is good, but..... i am not really sure too be honest for right now since many gamble game.. coming out
edit: I didn't watch the whole video but I wanna share my opinion for roblox as a player
I remember this was advertised over 10 years ago on websites. The commerical on one site made me very suspicious on the quailty but I'm glad its enjoy by alot of people.
Oof that was your chance to invest in Amazon when it was still a bookstore
ngl this is something I bet I would love to play as a kid as well, good that so much kids nowadays play something that has such big creative possibilities.
Roblox should have better rules to protect all good players and should encourage players to be polite and kind.
I used to play Roblox in 2017, man it has changed a lot
Sooo. It’s effectively a sandbox where everyone can create a world to play different games or simply meet up and simulate a second life.
It’s kinda what I wanted VR chat to be, just not VR lol
Well said
A virtual world where kids interact with each other. You can buy skins and add ons to customize your avatar using its currency called robucks. They have games in this virtual world that you can play. You also trade items and chat with others. You can create your own world for others to play in or you can just play in the world's that others create.
I love the overall foundation of these types of games, and I think it has a good chance of making the younger generation.... focus on their creativity. I just don't like the overt greedy capitalism with all those microtransactions. Its good to teach kids, especially, that valuable things cost $ and there's a hierarchy to things... but i just feel bad that some kids are limited due to their financial situation. In real life AND now virtually too lmao
I would prefer that kids play Minecraft than Roblox tbh.
Minecraft is once-off payment for the game and they can enjoy it and it develops creativity.
But at the end of the day - it's all Business, if these games weren't making money - they wouldn't exist I guess.
Cap it gives depression
Roblox has no respect for underrated devs

There’s a holy GOD in Heaven, Who created you and I for His glory, but our sins have separated us from Him. the wages of sin is DEATH, but the FREE Gift of GOD is eternal life in JESUS CHRIST the LORD. CHRIST died for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. repent, stop living in sin, and believe in the Gospel!!! -
The kindness here is so inspiring. Blessings to everyone!
Also, there aren’t any limits for age (in games). So if you’re under 13 and play a “18+“ game it won’t kick you out it’ll just allow you. But it’s hard to find 18+ games since they’re kinda hidden. You need to SEARCH for them. But not in the sense of search bars. I mean like you need to go to someone who has those games and join it from their profile.
What is a roblox 18+ game parents DONT even play roblox that much?
So it’s basically a cross between RuneScape and Minecraft? the bar has been lowered
Thank u for the info. I have nephews that are addicted to these games and they are only 6 and 10 so I worry about the fact all they want to do is play these games. I know their parents are not monitoring anything! They just give them Robux cards to be GOOD. So I am concerned.
3 out of 4 kids are playing these corrupted games? Ugh, how jacked up are the new generations going to be, sad times. I used to play lots of custom Warcraft 3 maps and the idea of having to bring money into that equation to play all that great custom content is awful. Would have totally corrupted the experience and taken away the joy of people just being able to create and play whatever levels they wanted without having to bring in real world economics into the situation past the single initial purchase price everyone paid.
Probably the best game I've ever played for the last 6 years!
Thanks for the useful and good explanation😃
All I know is that Roblox is where the oof sounds come from so I looked this up lmao
You can totally purchase the original sound on Roblox for one fricking dollar.
@Pack All Gaming Check the store. The in-game store.
This would have been a good game to play when I was a kid, now I'm 22 and this feels boring to actually play it in my personal opinion.
My first thought of Roblox was it was weird. My 10 year old niece got me into the game.(Yes all her actions are monitored. She also knows not to talk to strangers.) I really love Tycoons now.
Thank you for this video. It is exactly the basic overview I needed. 👍
Roblox should be all ages to play. Adults can play because they can be kids like you. Kids grow up as an adult and can keep playing roblox. No matter what people say. Just enjoy what u do. I love roblox so much. I play when i was 20 something i dunno when. Im 26 and tomorrow is my birthday. I will always have Roblox in my heart now.
I was trying to fix my nephew’s iPad and had to reset it. My nephew got upset over deleting data from an app called “Roblox”. I asked what it was and him and his brother got excited. They told me it was a game that had many games + apps? Such is RUclips kind of. I was completely off the grid. Now I’m a bit scared imagining the link between Roblox, meta, and COVID.
I might be hired next week as a Roblox developper. I'm a programmer/developper, and it seems like Roblox is only continuing to grow. Its an industry . Thanks for letting me know what I'm getting into 😅
So, u hired or not by now? My curiosity
Thanks for the education video. This helped.

Haha I'm 27 and downloaded Roblox today to see what's the hype. Then came on RUclips and saw this... Let's see how it goes....
should be illegal. targeting kids to spend real money
So candy stores should be illegale?
This will be a no from me for my kids. I don’t mind them being creative in Minecraft where my kids can with play together, but they will not be subject to any strangers. I will not allow any foreign interaction.
I'm 30, I got hired by Roblox recently and all I'm doing nowadays is researching this whole thing to understand better what this whole "game" is about
Hi how do you get hired or qualify to work there? Genuinely interested
thanks for this
one of my family members didn't know what roblox is, and i didn't wanna go through all the time telling them the basics
The more I learn, the less I'm convinced life isn't just a giant game of Roblox.
ruclips.net/video/kGh-TSPLeBU/видео.html
Wrong way to scale. Roblox is a miniature version of life.
It is a sandbox game. Its appeal is it can have and experience thousands of games in within a platform and launcher. And plus the fact that is quite light weight and less resource consuming for that much of experiences and an online game which we can increase the chances of replay
I'm so glad when I was a kid we used to play GTA 3 and shoot lizards with pellet guns
Huh
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yep literally what I did. Killing lizard with pallet guns are so fun seriously
Or just shooting pokemon cards or squirting a water gun on a spider like its a extreme obby they usually pounce on me like assholes
I'm so glad when I was a kid we used to play Streets of Rage and choke our chickens...
Great video and very informative for parent like me who want to know what the Roblox is as my kids keep asking me to want to play it
I’m 18 years old and still enjoy Roblox
I’ve been playing since 2008-9 and love it
Your not the only one brother
I’m 18 also I’m trying to find games to play though:(

Here's an example of a roblox game in which most (good) players are not kids: Deepwoken (RPG game)
It costs 400 robux (5$) and the new voice chat setting would make you feel nostalgic of old COD lobbies when killing other players
There are almost no gamepasses and it is a permadeath game, meaning if you die 3 times, all the progress you have made in the last hours/days is gone.
I think it’s the new type of Toys r us.
👀
No it’s not
all these years i thought ROBLOX was "minecraft with Robots"
I'm a contractor. I was on Camp Lejeune this week and 2 marines were talking about playing Roblox. One was excited about his phone notification that made the OOF sound. I came here to see what Roblox is.
Were these Marines "old style" military Men that looked like they could have stormed Normandy or the new 🌈 rainbow boys & girls that can't do push ups and have 2 moms?
I have 2 boys that want to play this
Thank you for making this really helps my decision if I should let them play
I worry about pervs but I will keep watch as they play
It’s the modern day Habbo Hotel or RuneScape
Thanks for the explanation 👍
This is so sick and could be a huge starting point for the metaverse.
NO
@@BattIeon yeah it can lol
@@MrObsidian241 PLEASE DONT
I would have been obsessed with this as a kid, I see why kiddos love it. Very open to creativity
2 minutes in and I'm still bored and don't get it. Lol
Just find a game perfectly fit for u ive never liked much rb games the only thing i found very interesting is a trading game aka bgs meant to teach kids the values percentage and demands and also demon slayer tycoon its very fun if used properly
Guys 5talin and Lenin might not have been 100% wrong tho guys....
Yes Comrade
I do not use roblox but in the games I frequent we get players who clearly use roblox they and the vast majority are the a pain in the rear at best many are so badly behaved it beggars belief why are roblox players such a nuance in other games?
idk man, i play roblox but get bullied, if not bullied, Insulted and get called mean things. idk why they hate me for playing it, always calls me a kid though i dont play kid-targetting kids. i play mature ones. maybe toxic kids gave bad impressions to them so when they see roblox players they'll insult them. for no reason. at all.
Ugh i have no idea i play roblox but when i get off the platform ans try to play pu they keep talking about roblox
So its basicly Second Life for children?
looks like a cheap VRchat platform
How can cheap be free tho also i aint listening to a opm fan
F thats not boros Lmao
I had no idea that Roblox released that long ago. Thank you for this explanation.
Neopets was WAAAY better. Lmaooo
neopets- legend
when a random moron on youtube says that a flash game from 2003 that has since been shut down with a completely closed down system is better than a thriving game with over 50 million active daily players and the ability to make whatever you want, from cod clones to flight simulators, prophunt, bhop, etc
seethe
i was playing conquer online when i was 13 (2006). Same logic. This mechanics even existed before 2000s .
It's more like GTA online with more fretures but crappy graphics
Your mean
@@Sweetlittleelf you're**
@@godofwar0678 I’m what...
If u play Greenville grafics are nicer there are some games with to much quality every device lags
roblox graphics can be high as gta 5 with roblox you can crate game and made graphics more realistic with no shader
Almost 2024, is this still as popular? 3/4 kids between 8-11. That’s crazy
Seems really fun and cute for kids and maybe some adults can enjoy it too. I worry about all of the scammers taking advantage of people but I suppose they will flock to whatever is popular if Its Roblox or anything else.
Im an older player. I feel kinda like I'm immature at times because i know the lore lol but it came out when I was 11 so i had time to adapt over the years. But anyway for my fellow 20+ year olds who are confused, its basically a catalog of games and you use the same avatar in each game. You may customize them though between free clothes and robux clothes if you choose to. I had gotten back into it over the years between DragonBall games and Liminal Space/Backroom games. I do enjoy the social aspect of it as it brings a realistic feel to the adventures rather than your comrades be NPCS. Dont get me wrong i play consoles and PC games as well but Roblox is surprisingly solid. Just gotta keep out the older people who are creepy and also the condo games need to go. When ive been in a server and got vibes someone was bejng suspect i would make it my business as an older person to put them in check. Virtually smacking around a possible adult being a creep to kids and teens is a great feeling I'll say that much from experience. It has its pros and cons like any online experience.
Thank you I’m 40 from the uk and wanted a game I can get into and become addicted to to pass time lol I won’t be talking in there if it’s all kids unless it’s a hello or goodbye etc
A sad old lonely hag. Yay feminism.
@@go4thmultiply349 Are you okay? There's always people you can talk to, you know. If you don't have anyone around, there are free services like hotlines and support groups that can help.
Lashing out won't help you with your issues, though. It only makes it harder to find people who will listen.
Best of luck.
Play some open world single player games, i'd reccomend red dead redemption 2, withcher 3,GTA V, watch dogs legion (which sets in uk)
@@uzumaki6759 do u like Roblox?
@Jojo
What about *Toon Blast?*
That's a simple puzzle game but has optional teams who can chat.
Thanks so much! Been out of gaming for a long time and my 3 year old loved train games! Great channel!
Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system developed by Roblox Corporation. It allows users to program games and play games created by other users. Created by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004 and released in 2006, the platform hosts user-created games of multiple genres coded in the programming language Lua. For most of Roblox's history, it was relatively small, both as a platform and a company. Roblox began to grow rapidly in the second half of the 2010s, and this growth has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Roblox is free-to-play, with in-game purchases available through a virtual currency called "Robux". As of August 2020, Roblox had over 164 million monthly active users, with it being played by over half of all children aged under 16 in the United States.
Although Roblox has generally received positive reviews from critics, it has faced criticism for its moderation, micro...

Wait..what?
Its not half of the children under the age of 16 its 80%
Oh United states sorry i though you mean worldwide
Who remembers when tix was around? Been years since it was removed, but I remember using them instead of robux.
For people who don't know what roblox is:
What is Roblox?
Roblox is an online virtual playground and workshop, where kids of all ages can safely interact, create, have fun, and learn. It’s unique in that practically everything on Roblox is designed and constructed by members of the community. Each player starts by choosing an avatar and giving it an identity. They can then explore Roblox - interacting with others by chatting, playing games, or collaborating on creative projects. Each player is also given their own piece of undeveloped real estate along with a virtual toolbox with which to design and build anything - be it a navigable skyscraper, a working helicopter, a giant pinball machine, a multiplayer “Capture the Flag” game or some other, yet-to-be-dreamed-up creation. There is no cost for this first plot of virtual land. By participating and by building cool stuff, Roblox members can earn specialty badges as well as Roblox dollars (“Robux”). In turn, they can shop the online catalog to purchase avatar clothing and accessories as well as premium building materials, interactive components, and working mechanisms.
I just hate it when someones said "roblox is trash" when they never even played it
i played it. it is.
@@REVOLSAMI 😂
roblox isn't a game it's a game engine with all kinds of games.
